Most Fareham properties sit on mixed ground on the M27 corridor at the western edge of the catchment, so Resin Bound Driveways here comes down to a seamless aggregate-and-resin surface, trowelled flat with no loose stone and no gaps for weeds. Fareham’s own driveways are shaped by varied frontages reflecting the mixed housing ages, from Victorian terrace to modern estate, and a conservation area across parts of the historic town centre. It is best suited to front-garden conversions and swept curves where a clean, low-maintenance finish matters most, though a permeable build-up is what makes it SuDS-compliant — an impermeable base means it isn’t.
About Resin Bound Driveways
Resin bound driveways mix a graded natural aggregate fully through a clear UV-stable resin, then trowel the blend to a smooth, flat, close-textured finish over a properly prepared sub-base or a sound existing concrete or tarmac base. Because every stone is fully coated and bound, there is no loose material to migrate, sweep away or catch in shoes, and no gap for weeds to establish. It suits front-garden conversions, curved or swept driveways, and properties where a clean, contemporary, low-maintenance finish matters. Specified with a permeable build-up it also meets SuDS drainage requirements; specified over an impermeable base it does not, so the build-up matters more than the surface layer itself.
Best suited to: small to mid-size front-garden conversions, curved sweeps, and any property where a seamless no-weed finish is the priority
Less suited to: very heavy commercial vehicle loading, where a thicker structural surface like tarmac is the more sensible choice
Ground & property in Fareham
Fareham sits on the M27 corridor at the western edge of the Portsmouth catchment, with a genuine mix of Victorian, post-war and modern housing reflecting the town’s long growth along that corridor. Frontages vary with that mixed housing stock, and part of the historic town centre carries its own conservation area, which shapes what can be done to the older frontages there.
